West Ham coach Graham Potter is on the verge of being replaced in less than a year.
Britain's 『BBC" reported on the 21st (Korean time)"West Ham are considering the dismissal of Potter and according to several sources, they have entered the process of finding potential alternatives". West Ham lost 1-2 to Crystal Palace, their London rival, on the 20th.
Porter has won and lost four games in the English Premier League this season. There are only three points. The ranking was placed in 18th place, a relegation zone. 'BBC' is not ideal to let Porter go early in the Premier League season. Only five games have been played. But the fact that they have begun the process of finding a potential replacement shows growing uncertainty about Porter's future, he stressed.
The candidates for the next coach were also revealed. Son Heung-min's former teacher, Nunu Espiritu Santo, who recently stepped down as Nottingham Forest head coach, is being discussed as the first option.
Coach Nunu Santo finished seventh in the EPL last season, presenting the first European club competition ticket in 30 years. Even after the opening of the new season, he had one win, one draw and one loss in three EPL games.

However, discord, not grades, was the root of the fire. Evangelos Marinakis and Nunu Santo, the leading eccentric owners of European football, clashed head-to-head on the ground in May. There has been noise recently, too. The owner of the Marinakis pressed the replacement button less than a month after the opening.
Nottingham announced on the 9th 'The club will dismiss Nunu Santo from the manager's post due to the recent situation. I would like to express my gratitude to Nunu for his contribution to a successful period in Nottingham, especially his role in the 2024-2025 season. This will be remembered forever in club history,' the release said.
Nottingham appointed former Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou to replace Nunu Santo, but he lost one draw and two in three games, falling into a swamp of sluggishness. In particular, they led 2-0 in the third round of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) against Swansea City in the championship (division 2) on the 14th It was a huge shock to lose 2-3. Nottingham drew 1-1 against Burnley in the fifth round of the EPL on the 20th.
Greek-born Australian coach Postecoglou and Greek wealthy owner Marinakis were full of backbites with a 'Greek Connection'. Coach Nunu Santo is bound to feel unfair. Not a bad card for West Ham.

In addition to Nunu Santo, Slaven Wilic is also being considered. Originally from Croatia, he experienced both players and coaches at West Ham. 'BBC' said there are internally discussions about the possibility of a short-term return for Coach Vilic' Hwang Hee-chan's former teacher, Gary O'Neill, the former head coach of Wolverhampton, is also said to be on the candidate list.
Porter, who became the West Ham coach in January this year, had six wins, five draws and 14 losses in 25 games. The winning rate is only 24 percent. He also resigned as Chelsea manager in disgrace. In the case of his predecessor, Julen Lopetegui, he was replaced after winning seven games in 22 games.
